Chapter 2 Installing Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Conferencing Release 5.3
About the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Conferencing Release 5.3 Installation
About SQL Server Installation Options
To ease installation, Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Conferencing is bundled with both Microsoft SQL
Server and Microsoft SQL Desktop Engine (MSDE). You can choose to install SQL Server on either the
same machine as Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Conferencing or, for better performance, on a
separate machine.
If you choose to install SQL Server on the same machine as Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web
Conferencing, choose Local as your SQL Server database location during your installation. If the
installer fails to detect a version of SQL Server 2000 on your local system, it installs both SQL Server
2000 and the appropriate Service Pack for you automatically. No additional steps are required.
Note Check the Release Notes for your release of Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Conferencing for the
required Service Pack.
If you choose to install SQL Server on a separate machine, install both SQL Server 2000 and the
appropriate Service Pack before installing Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Conferencing; then, on the
MCS, install Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Conferencing. During installation, choose Existing
remote as your SQL Server database location and enter the appropriate SQL access information.
For more information about what conditions must be met for Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web
Conferencing to automatically install either SQL Server or MSDE, see Table 2-1.
